I think it may be time for a reminder about our Forum rules and proper ways of voicing your feedback:

If you want to make sure your feedback gets seen and used, just BE COOL! Yes, I really made up an acronym for it!

  • Be Basic - You may know what you mean but others may have no idea what you are talking about. Keep your message basic. Explain the intent of your message. The first paragraph should be a basic explanation or overview of the purpose or problem. You can provide details afterwards. If you have solutions for a problem, you can add that after the details. Keep "be basic" in mind when thinking about a subject for your message too; avoid making it vague.
  • Be Eloquent - Run your message through a spellchecker and/or grammar checker before posting it. It's really hard for us to take quotes from messages that are in all caps, have no punctuation, in all lower-case, or contain other grammar and formatting errors. While we don't expect everyone to pass writing classes before posting messages, we do find it easier to collect the feedback when the messages are written well.
  • Be Constructive - Whether your feedback is positive or negative, we expect it to be Constructive. There's a big difference between constructive and destructive feedback. Constructive feedback is that which is appropriate for the forums, and within the Community Policies and Terms of Service. While these messages aren't required to agree with subjects or others, they are required to be helpful, respectful and not to break any of our guidelines. Destructive feedback serves no purpose other than to launch personal attacks, engage in argumentative discussions and ruin the community spirit for others. In addition, reposting your message without rewording it to be within the guidelines above may result in administrative action against your account. Destructive posts are not considered appropriate and will usually either be removed, locked, or warrant further administrative actions.
  • Be Original - Before starting your own thread on a subject, check other posts to make sure someone else didn't start discussing it first. If we see multiple threads on the same subject, we're more than likely only to concentrate on the first one posted.
  • Be On Topic - Make sure your feedback is related to the game or SOE.
  • Be Logical - While a flying Jedi gnome with wings and robotic wheels for feet as a new player race might sound like a fun idea, it probably wouldn't be very feasible to add to any of our games. When sharing ideas of feedback, think about the gameplay systems and whether or not it is something that stands a chance of actually being implemented. The development teams are constantly adding new features and gameplay systems that but there are limitations.
So remember, when you post about games, if you want your feedback heard, just BE COOL about it! That is all for now... and thank you for your feedback!
